Progressive Dystopia

Abolition, Antiblackness, and Schooling in San Francisco

By: Savannah Shange

San Francisco is the endgame of gentrification, where racialized displacement means that the Black population of the city hovers at just over 3 percent. The Robeson Justice Academy opened to serve the few remaining low-income neighborhoods of the city, with the mission of offering liberatory, social justice--themed education to youth of color. While it features a progressive curriculum including Frantz Fanon and Audre Lorde, the majority Latinx school also has the district's highest suspension rates for Black students. In Progressive Dystopia Savannah Shange explores the potential for reconciling the school's marginalization of Black students with its sincere pursuit of multiracial uplift and solidarity. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and six years of experience teaching at the school, Shange outlines how the school fails its students and the community because it operates within a space predicated on antiblackness. Seeing San Francisco as a social laboratory for how Black communities survive the end of their worlds, Shange argues for abolition over revolution or progressive reform as the needed path toward Black freedom.

Voices of Savannah

Selections from the Oral History Collection of the Savannah Jewish Archives

By: Savannah Jewish Archives

The Savannah Jewish Archives (SJA), housed in the Georgia Historical Society and funded by the Savannah Jewish Federation, was established in 1994 to preserve and make available the history of the Jewish community of Savannah, Georgia. As part of an ongoing effort to make their holdings accessible to the public, the SJA, on its tenth anniversary, proudly presents Voices of Savannah: Selections from the Oral History Collection of the Savannah Jewish Archives. This new offering from the SJA is a supplement to The Jewish Community of Savannah (Arcadia Press, 2002), which utilized the Archives' extensive photograph collection to trace the history of Savannah's Jewish community. Voices of Savannah offers previously unseen photographs from the collections of the SJA while also drawing narrative text from more than one hundred oral history interviews collected from and by local Jewish residents, pulling together their own stories in their own words to create a unique picture of Savannah in days gone by. - Back cover.

The Savannah College of Art and Design: Restoration of an Architectural Heritage

By: Connie Capozzola Pinkerton,Maureen Burke Ph.D.,Historic Preservation Department of the Savannah College of Arts and Design

In 1979, a small art college with 71 students opened its doors in a renovated 19th-century building in the urban heart of colonial Savannah, Georgia. One of the most historic cities on the eastern seaboard, Savannah is noted for its architectural treasures, urban forest and verdant squares, and for the unique 1733 city plan designed by General Oglethorpe. The campus fabric of the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) grew from the Romanesque revival Savannah Volunteer Guards Armory, designed by Boston architect William Gibbons Preston in 1892, to comprise some 60 rehabilitated historic structures situated within four historic districts. Currently, more than 6,200 students pursue their dreams in this wonderful setting.
